Witch Hunts, Black Cats, and the Bible: The Surprising Connection

Описание: Why are witches linked with black cats, and does the Bible have anything to do with it? This week, Dr. Peter Miller joins us to uncover how biblical ideas about magic shaped later Christian traditions about witches, black cats, and the devil.

👉 We’ll discuss:
– What “magic” means in the Bible
– How witchcraft appears in the Bible
– How biblical texts became witch-hunt propaganda
